Introducing Great Lakes Connectivity for Starburst Galaxy

Starburst Galaxy's new Great Lakes connectivity feature provides seamless integration with various data lakehouse file and table formats such as Hive, Delta Lake, and Apache Iceberg, enhancing data accessibility and performance without requiring users to manage underlying complexities. This functionality allows users to configure object storage catalogs like Amazon S3, Azure Data Lake Storage, or Google Cloud Storage, while Starburst Galaxy manages the rest, enabling the use of open table formats to improve analytics and reduce data movement costs. With the ability to interact with data lakes using SQL, the platform offers significant performance improvements over traditional formats, utilizing advanced features like data skipping and improved partition handling. Starburst Galaxy, a fully managed platform available on major cloud providers, ensures that users can effortlessly leverage these capabilities while being adaptable to new file types and formats in the future.
